      abstract = {World trade in dairy products has grown in recent decades  at rates that generally exceed demand growth in developed  countries, which produce the majority of the world’s dairy  products. Data from the Global Trade Information Services  (GTIS) online Global Trade Atlas trade data system and the  United Nations Commodity Trade (UNcomtrade) Statistics  Database show that total world dairy exports grew by 4.6%  per year, on a milk equivalent basis, during 2010–2014  while total domestic consumption of dairy products in the  United States grew by 0.9% per year during the same period,  measured on the same basis (USDA/Economic Research Service  2016). The US dairy industry has participated significantly  in this growth, increasing its exports from an estimated  5.3%of domestic milk solids production in 2002 to 15.5 % in  2013 and 15.3 % in 2014 (U.S. Dairy Export Council 2016).  This article focuses on the factors contributing to this  growth and discusses the current world dairy market  situation and challenges the US dairy industry faces in an  increasingly competitive export market environment going  forward. It is intended to suggest some researchable  questions that dairy economists and analysts might usefully  examine to assist the industry’s further progress in  supplying the world’s growing import demand for dairy  products.},
